Microdermabrasion is an effective treatment for mild to moderate acne, sun damage, uneven skin tone (hyper pigmentation), age spots, fine lines and mild scarring. People of all ages and skin types can consider the use of microdermabrasion to achieve more even and healthier-looking skin. The procedure has very few risks, and it is minimally invasive, requiring no downtime.

During microdermabrasion procedure, a small vacuum-type machine is passed over the skin’s surface spraying a stream of tiny crystals and thus gently buffing away any imperfections. The device simultaneously suctions up the used crystals and dead skin cells, and removes impurities. The procedure promotes re-growth of the upper layer of your skin. The result is a more even, smoother and healthier-looking skin. Microdermabrasion can remove some moisture from the skin, which is why our Michigan facial plastic surgery professionals recommend use of moisturizing cream.

Results usually can be seen within a day or so, but a series of microdermabrasion treatments several weeks apart is usually recommended for maximum effectiveness. Although microdermabrasion is most commonly performed on the face and neck, any part of the body can be treated.
